Upon discovery that the\u00a0Boquila trifoliolata<\/em>\u00a0is capable of flexible leaf mimicry, the question of the mechanism behind this ability has been unanswered. Here, we demonstrate that\u00a0plant vision<\/em>\u00a0possibly via plant-specific ocelli is a plausible hypothesis. A simple experiment by placing an artificial vine model above the living plants has shown that these will attempt to mimic the artificial leaves. The experiment has been carried out with multiple plants, and each plant has shown attempts at mimicry. It was observed that mimic leaves showed altered leaf areas, perimeters, lengths, and widths compared to non-mimic leaves. We have calculated four morphometrical features and observed that mimic leaves showed higher aspect ratio and lower rectangularity and form factor compared to non-mimic leaves.<\/p>\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\tRead More<\/span><\/a>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/article>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n\t\t\t\tBroadening the definition of a nervous system to better understand the evolution of plants and animals<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t

Most textbook definitions recognize only animals as having nervous systems. However, for the past couple decades, botanists have been meticulously studying long-distance signaling systems in plants, and some researchers have stated that plants have a simple nervous system. Thus, an academic conflict has emerged between those who defend and those who deny the existence of a nervous system in plants. This article analyses that debate, and we propose an alternative to answering yes or no: broadening the definition of a nervous system to include plants. We claim that a definition broader than the current one, which is based only on a phylogenetic viewpoint, would be helpful in obtaining a deeper understanding of how evolution has driven the features of signal generation, transmission and processing in multicellular beings.<\/p>\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\tRead More<\/span><\/a>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/article>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Autophagy is important for resetting memory of heat stress via control of heat shock proteins degradation. Autophagy mutants retain heat shock proteins longer and, therefore, display longer thermomemory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stamen presentation in Nasa poissoniana (Loasaceae) flowers is based on previously experienced pollinator visitation intervals. Using the unique ability of fast and precise stamen movements in response to a previous experiences with pollinators. Flowers of Nasa poissoniana are able to perceive, record and memorize  visitations and adjust their flower behavior based on previous experiences. In other words, flowers anticipate revisits of pollinators by learning from previously experienced visitation intervals.

\r\n\t\t\t\tLeaf Trichomes as Acoustic Antennae of Plants<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t

Arabidopsis trichomes (hair cells) respond to mechanical stimuli by initiating potential signaling factors in themselves and in the neighboring cells. These vibrational responses of Arabidopsis trichomes support the hypothesis that trichomes respond acoustically to vibrations associated with feeding caterpillars. Trichomes have vibrational modes in the frequency range of the sounds of feeding caterpillars, encouraging further experimentation to determine whether trichomes serve as mechanical antennae. Arabidopsis plants have been reported recently to react to the sounds of caterpillars of Pieris rapae chewing on its leaves by promoting synthesis of toxins that can deter herbivory. Identifying leaf trichomes as acoustic antennae of plant cells suggests potential \u201cears\u201d of Arabidopsis.<\/p>\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\tRead More<\/span><\/a>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/article>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A new study published in\u00a0Annals of Botany<\/i>\u00a0has shown that plants react to anaesthetics in a similar way to animals and humans, suggesting plants are ideal objects for testing anaesthetics actions in future.<\/span>When exposed to anaesthetics, a number of plants lost both their autonomous and touch-induced movements. Venus flytraps no longer generate electrical signals and their traps remain\u00a0open when trigger hairs were touched, and growing pea tendrils stopped their autonomous movements and were immobilized in a curled shape. The results of this study suggest that the action of anaesthetic at cellular and organ levels are similar in plants and animals.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\tRead More<\/span><\/a>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/article>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Nectar robbing bumblebees are detered from visiting and feeding from Aconitum flowers via alkaloids which are more distasteful to nectar robbers than to pollinating honeybees. Obviously, plants can finely control behaviour of insects using mixtures of alkaloids and other non-nutrient compounds enriched within their nectar exudates.<\/p>\n

Plant microRNAs control honeybee caste development by preventing larval differentiation into queens and inducing formation of workers. Especially important in this respect is miRNA162a which targets genes of the TOR complex. Previously, dietary plant microRNAs were reported also in human blood but possible impacts on humans are still not clarified.<\/p>\n
